Could pro soccer come to Elk Grove?

Mayor-Elect says 'we have a real opportunity'

Plans to bring a pro-soccer stadium to Elk Grove may be on their way to completion, according to the city's mayor-elect.

On Saturday, Mayor-Elect Gary Davis met with Major League Soccer Commissioner Don Garber in Los Angeles.

"Commissioner Garber is interested in this market and, due to our proximity to the Central Valley, Elk Grove specifically," Davis said in a news release. " ... If done right, we have an opportunity to get a real professional soccer team in Elk Grove."
